Do you like leather jackets? Do you want to dress like actor Eric Martsolf from Smallville? Do you have $178? If you answered yes to all three of those questions, Sky-Seller.com might be the site for you!

Or maybe you'd prefer to save $3 and order from LeatherJackets.com:

Hmm. That image looks awfully familiar. Where have I seen that before? Oh, yes, I remember now:

That's thomdave wearing the costume he had made for Comic-Con 2011. At the time, he credited the costume to Abby Polakow (of Cape & Cowl Creations).

Sky-Seller.com is registered to a private company in Panama. LeatherJackets.com is registered to an apparel company in San Francisco (B.L.K. International) which claims to have been in business for 20 years. If you look closely, you'll see that the LeatherJackets image is a poorly retouched version of the Sky-Seller image (you can clearly see the use of the clone tool to cover where the "Sky-Seller.com" watermark has been removed).

So Sky-Seller "borrowed" and retouched the image from thomdave's original forum post, and LeatherJackets "borrowed" that image and retouched it. Neither of them appear to have anything to do with Polakow, who has her own craft store on etsy.com.

The moral of today's post, boys and girls, is before you trust someone with your $175, you might want to do a bit of homework. Anyone who takes credit for someone else's work might not be the most trustworthy vendor.

Today DC Comics releases the final print edition of Smallville Season 11. There are no plans for a Season 12, which means we've likely seen the last of the Smallville continuity that gave us Eric Martsolf's interpretation of Booster Gold.

When will we see another live-action Booster Gold? Your guess is as good as mine.

Tom Everett Scott's Booster Gold is going to be a pretty high bar for any future actors to hurdle.

Last week's poll question: ( votes)

After Kevin Maguire's recent fan casting, there's been some discussion in the Boosterrific Forum about who might play Booster when he returns to television (which as Russ Burlingame said at ComicBook.com earlier this week, may still happen in his own series).

 

UPDATE 2015-01-15: Tom Everett Scott appreciates his fans!

"@boosterrific: The Fans Have Spoken: @TomEScott is the best Booster Gold voice EVER bit.ly/1BwdU07" Thank you Booster Gold fans!!

You're welcome, Tom Everett Scott. (Now I wish I had a trophy to give him.)

Booster Gold doesn't play a big part in today's Smallville Season 11: Continuity #2, but a small part is better than no part at all.

Two weeks into 2015 and two comics with Booster Gold appearances? I'm announcing that 2015 is The Year of Booster Gold!

If you visit your Local Comic Shop today, the cover of Smallville: Continuity #1 might catch your eye. Buyer beware! Booster Gold may appear prominently on Cat Staggs' cover, but he is found nowhere inside the book.

This is the second time in recent months that Booster will appear on a cover without participating in the story within. Booster was on the cover of Futures End #25, and he hasn't been seen in that story since May!

So if you're a Booster Gold completist, you're going to want a copy of Smallville: Continuity #1. Otherwise, consider saving your money for an extra copy of Booster's Convergence crossover next April.
